A Lovely, Beautiful Martinmas

I love Martinmas, this time of taking the beautiful spark of light within each of us, carefully carried from the height of summer expansiveness by the courage and bravery as seen in St. Michael, that can now light up the darkness of the earth and the human journey.

Lantern walks are a most popular way to work with the festival for all. A Lantern Walk does not even have to be a coordinated community effort; it can even be as simple and sure as walking around your own house or yard together with your lanterns. For small children, this can be just as wonderful as a community event.

There are beautiful things to file here for your next Martinmas celebration.

Great post! Carrie, I am so glad that you mentioned that it doesn’t have to be a big event. We have had years of community gatherings which are wonderful and then other years like this year where we just went within as a family. The family is the first community unit :)
